Time for one last stop in Spain before the parents head home and I move on to Portugal. Seville is mostly know for having the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and third overall largest cathedral in the world as well as the Alcazar. I was in Seville in 1998 at the lovely age of…

Books travel just like people
When I travel I always have an actual book with me and not just a nook or a tablet. When I finish the book I leave it wherever I finished it and I leave my email address in the book with a little note. I have probably left over 50 books around the world and…
Something other than Quito
I had two nights to spend in Quito between Bogota and The Galapagos. Quito airport isn’t exactly near Quito (think about a 30-45 minute drive) and I had some friends that were renting a car and traveling to some other cities Ecuador has to offer so I decided to tag along with them. I stayed…
I’m back on another adventure!
I know I have been MIA for a few, but I do have to work to fund these travels. But, I am back at it again for a few month trip to South America and Europe! It all started with a new backpack and a drop off at SFO for what should have been an easy…
Pure bliss at Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls is considered one of the New 7 wonders of Nature. Needless to say, if you are anywhere near the falls, you have to go! On the way to the falls, we stopped at a point where you could see Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. As a United States Citizen a visa is required for…

Bali. Bali. Bali!
Asia was not part of my plan when I set out on my backpacking journey, but when you receive an invite from some friends from university that live in Beijing and Hong Kong, you have to go. One friend was already in Bali and my other friend and I flew in on the same day….
Gili Islands
Although Bali is an island, there are plenty of other islands to visit within a few hour boat ride. I took a couple of days to visit the Gili Islands and see what all the talk was about. I visited the main island, Gili Trawangan and spent two days just relaxing. I booked a hostel in order…
Bern baby Bern
My parents left me on May 1 and my adventure of backpacking officially started. I looked at a map of Europe and found a city and decided to go there and that is how I ended up in Bern, Switzerland. Bern is the capital of Switzerland and has a great walking promenade full of stores…
